Just wondering if parents that are dropping their kids off for the "summer program" at 5 Peaks…read moreMartial Arts Academy, are aware their kids are running races in the parking lot! It's not two kids at a time, it's 10-15 kids at a time. As I pulled around the corner in the parking lot I saw all these kids running towards me. I'm glad I wasn't going fast because it would have been a disaster. This is a very busy parking lot with people from the caterer and the groomer pulling in and out all day. Believe me, the cars race around that corner. I tried to explain to the young man that was standing there, "holding the line" how dangerous it was. Another young man came up and said they have been doing this for the past 10 years. Not sure how, because he was A teenager himself, and the place has only been opened for a year. He tried to explain it wasn't illegal and I agreed it wasn' but it's dangerous. There are 10-15 kids racing each other in a busy parking lot. He did explain, the young man "holding the line " would get hit first when someone came around the corner. I sincerely hope no one gets hurt, and that parents are aware of the parking lot races.

I sent my 4 year old son to this establishment for Summer Camp starting in June 2019. He was born…read morein January 2015, so he will not be 5 until next year. Before registering I had a phone conversation with one of the staff members. I specifically asked if they were sure that they accept preschool age children for camp. He reassured me that they have in the past. I explained that my son was in preschool at a center but would start pre-k at a private school in the Fall and was told that was fine. I visited the place twice without my son to obtain paperwork and to drop off the paperwork and immunization records and still was told that all was well. His age and school information was included in writing as requested on their forms. Fast forward to my son starting camp. The first week was fine and he seemed happy. I did not receive any complaints from the staff or my son. A couple of weeks later, my husband picked my son up and the female staff person asked about my son's academic abilities. She seemed surprised that a 4 year old child could not write numbers independently. That was strange to me as I assumed that staff working with children would receive some sort of training on developmentally appropriate activities. I chose not to make too much of the issue. The next week I received complaints about the need to redirect my son from approaching the deep end at the pool during a field trip and again about them taking his play time away because he was not writing his numbers. Any parent or individual properly trained to work with children would know that four year old children often require redirection. They also should be able to recognize numbers and letters but might not be writing independently yet. My son can write letters of the alphabet, his name, count to 100 and more but that was not enough for them. I was appalled at the fact that his play time was used as punishment since play is the most important form of learning for a child at that age. The straw that broke the camel's back was that a staff person called my son "stubborn". My family is not perfect but we definitely are not tolerant of name calling. We do not call our child names and would never allow anyone else to do so. US Martial Arts is not a bad place for elementary age kids but parents of preschoolers beware. I would NOT recommend sending your child under six years old to summer camp at this establishment. Expectations are unrealistic and trust me when I say you will notice a difference in your child. My happy go-lucky boy who has always been rated as above average and is very well liked by teachers was in tears when I reminded him on Sunday that he would go to camp on Monday. Needless to say, I pulled him out and made other arrangements for him to be in a loving environment with folks who understand how to work with children his age. I would have appreciated a denial when I inquired about signing him up for camp if they are inexperienced with his age group. I would have also appreciated feedback daily about his play time being revoked instead of finding out the way I did. When I called to inform them that he would not return, no questions were asked. That is less than ideal customer service since I have already spent almost $1,000 with them. All is well as the happiness of my child is all that matters.

So far this has not happened and that was back in October 2016. Classes are M-Th and just one from 6:15-7:15. There is a different instructor every night. Sometimes the class seems more focus on weights, yoga, Pilates, and other things than kickboxing. The room is not very big. While you are taking the class, others are either in there waiting to their classes, practicing for their class, or walking to and from the restroom. Sometimes you cannot do your own workout due to them walking by or being in the way, which is frustrating. Attempted to cancel my membership but unfortunately I'm locked in for a year. It is definitely more geared for martial arts than kickboxing.
